Comfort Meets Innovation

Ever wish you could dive while breathing naturally through your nose?

That’s exactly what the Ocean Reef Full Face Mask allows you to do. This innovative scuba full face mask combines comfort, technology, and safety into one seamless underwater experience.

In this guide, we’ll break down the top benefits of full face masks for scuba diving and what to know before trying one for yourself.

What Is the Ocean Reef Full Face Mask?

The Ocean Reef Full Face Mask combines your mask and regulator into a single, streamlined unit. Instead of clenching a mouthpiece, you breathe naturally through your nose and mouth — just like you do on land.

It features:

• A built-in regulator integrated into the mask
• A wide, panoramic viewing lens
• Internal airflow circulation that prevents fogging
• Dry top snorkel system for surface breathing
• Optional accessories like underwater communication systems and GoPro mounts

Why use a Full Face Mask

Here are some of the top benefits that divers love:

1. Natural Breathing

With a full face mask, you don’t need to keep a regulator in your mouth. This is especially beneficial for:

• Divers who prefer nasal breathing
• People with jaw or dental issues

2. All-Day Comfort

Say goodbye to jaw fatigue and dry mouth. The mask seals around your face, and the airflow feels smooth and effortless.

3. Built-In Communication

Optional communication systems (available with many Ocean Reef masks) allow instructors or dive buddies to talk underwater, which is a game-changer for:

• Dive professionals
• Rescue divers
• Training scenarios

4. Fog-Free Vision

Thanks to its internal circulation, fogging is rare. Combined with the large panoramic lens, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear views of the reef, wrecks, and marine life.

5. Warmer Dives

In colder environments, having your face fully covered helps retain warmth—a big plus for comfort and safety.

Things to consider before switching

The Ocean Reef mask is powerful, but it’s not plug-and-play for everyone. Here’s what to keep in mind:

1. Equalization Takes Practice
   • Since your nose is inside the mask, you’ll use a nose-block tool to equalize.
   • It works, but requires getting used to—especially for divers with sensitive ears.
2. Training Is Recommended
   • We strongly suggest a Full Face Mask Specialty Course to practice emergency procedures, equalization, and proper maintenance.
3. It’s an Investment
   • More expensive than traditional masks and regulators.
   • But many divers find it’s worth every penny once they try it.
4. Fit Is Everything
   • A proper fit is essential for comfort and safety.
   • Test different sizes and let a pro help with setup.
